The spotlight's shining brightest on the gridiron hero who's taken the game by storm:Travis Hunter.
This season, for the first time ever, promos are dropping simultaneously in both Madden and College Football 26, giving fans double the festive football action. But nothing has gotten the community buzzing quite like the release of the limited-time 95 Overall Heisman Travis Hunter card-available both as a wide receiver and a quarterback.
Travis Hunter:The Heisman Winner Everyone's Talking About
In one of the closest Heisman races we've seen in recent memory, Travis Hunter edged out Ash Jenty for the prestigious award. The debates between fans have been wild, with the Travis Hunter and Jenty supporters throwing playful shade but never the players themselves.
Now, let's break down what makes Travis Hunter such a beast in College Football 26.
The Wide Receiver Card
The Heisman-wide receiver Travis Hunter card is a nightmare for defenses. Check out these stats:
95 Speed
95 Acceleration
92 Agility
94 Jumping
93 Catch
91 Spectacular Catch
93 Short Route Running
95 Deep Route Running
Those numbers are no joke, and when you stack him with elite abilities like Sure Hands (for better catching), Cutter (to break tackles), and Takeoff (improving jump ability), he becomes a multi-dimensional threat on offense. Plus, I had to add Best Friend because who doesn't need a trusty teammate to vibe with on the field?
The Quarterback Card
But the fun doesn't stop there. The limited-time Travis Hunter quarterback card carries the same elite athleticism-95 speed, 92 acceleration, and 92 agility-but the magic lies in his defensive skills, which is a rare treat for a QB card:

85 Tackling
92 Pursuit
88 Play Recognition
96 Man Coverage
87 Zone Coverage
91 Press Coverage
In essence, Travis Hunter can literally play both sides of the ball at a high level. I mean, if you can't catch, you play defense, right? Well, Travis can do both, and that versatility adds a whole new strategic layer to your gameplay.
Gameplay Highlights:Player Lock Fun and Offensive Mastery
Now, let's get into some personal gameplay experiences, because nothing tells the story better than the moments on the virtual field. This particular session was wild. I was locked onto Travis Hunter, and the domination was real.
At one point, Travis caught 13 receptions for 227 yards and four receiving touchdowns-plus, I snagged a pick-six on defense. That's the kind of performance that makes this game feel like a next-level football experience.
It wasn't all smooth sailing, though. Sometimes you get double teamed, sometimes you get covered tight, but Travis always found a way to break through or make a crucial play. The player lock mode gave me a whole new perspective on the game-suddenly, I was not just calling the plays but living and breathing them as Travis.
One of the coolest parts about playing with Travis Hunter on both sides of the ball was how the momentum swung. There were moments of pure adrenaline, like when I intercepted a pass, dashed down the field, and took it back for six. That pick-six moment was a real “finally!” after a few close calls earlier in the game.
And the tension of overtime? The pressure was on, but with Travis leading the charge, the team pulled through for a thrilling OT win. It's games like these that remind me why I love College Football 26 so much-the balance of strategy, skill, and pure football chaos.Underdog Picks for Week 16:Betting Insights
If you want to get in on some action with your football knowledge, here are my eight underdog picks for Week 16 to consider:
1.Ravens vs. Steelers:Lamar Jackson over 1.5 touchdowns; Russell Wilson under 1.5 touchdowns. The Ravens-Steelers games are always defensive slugfests, but Lamar tends to shine under pressure.
2.Lions:Coming off a loss but looking for revenge. Expect Caleb Williams and DJ Moore to have a tough day, so I'm going lower on their stats.
3.Tyron Tracy:Over 52 rushing yards-he's a force on the ground.
4.Mike Evans:Over 76 yards-Mike Evans is one of the most consistent receivers in NFL history, and the Buccaneers want him to hit a thousand yards again this season.
5.Jared G:Over 1.5 touchdowns. The Bears are vulnerable, and Jared's looking to bounce back hard.
6.Aaron A:Under yards-playing it safe here.

The Travis Hunter vs. Ash Jenty Debate:Who Deserved the Heisman?
Both Travis Hunter and Ash Jenty are deserving candidates, and I get why the debate is so heated. I even brought this up in my video where I scored with every Heisman winner. Jenty's versatility and playmaking ability are undeniable, but Hunter's speed and ability to impact the game on both offense and defense pushed him just over the edge this year in my opinion.

Player locking gives an immersive feel, and players like Travis Hunter bring a fresh excitement to the field. The simultaneous Madden and College Football 26 holiday promos mean you're never far from football action during this festive season.
